Something not working?
Problems which you can resolve yourself.
During machine operation it is possible that one of the following messages appear on the display:
- Problem with the water supply: “No incoming water. Check tap & hose”
- Problem with water draining: “No drain. Check drain hose /filter”
- Door open: “Door not closed. Please check”
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the Start/Add clothes button to restart the programme. If after
all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.
Please be aware that any service calls which could have been solved by following the instructions (e.g.
removing transit devices, removing blockage from drain pump, adjusting levelling feet, tightening inlet hose
etc.) will be payable by the customer.

at the socket.

depressed.
• The DELAY START option has been selected.
• The programme selector dial is not positioned.
• The machine does not fill:
• The water tap is closed. (“No incoming water.
Check tap & hose”)

incoming water. Check tap & hose”)
• The filter in the inlet hose is blocked. (“No
incoming water. Check tap & hose”)
• The door is not properly closed. ( “Door not
closed. Please check”)
• The machine fills then empties
immediately:
• The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to
relevant paragraph in “water drainage” section.
